Il know of a naturalist down in east

college professor. "who wouldn't he con-
WINGED that beavers could build dams till
he saw il done with his own eyes. He
is an awful increlulous fellow, any way.
] bought baby beaver Of hunter who
traps them. one day, and sent him 10 my
skeptical friend. He grew greatly at
tachel 10 the little fellow and kept him in
the house. but he often wrote me that his
beaver didn't show any propensity at all
for dam building. One Monday. washing
day. his wife sat leaky pail full Of wa
ter on the kitchen floor. The beaver was
in the kitchen, he was only baby then,
too. and he saw the water oozing out OF
a crack in the pail. He scampered out
INTO the yard, brought in chip and be-
gan building his dam. The naturalist
was summoned. He watched the little
fellow. tmnderstruck. Said he, Leave
that pail there, wife, till doomsday, if
need he. and let's see what the little fel-
low will do. The beaver kept at it four
weeks. until he had built a solid dam
clean AROUND the pail. Ny naturalist
friend is quite beaver man today. They
say, you know. that " y down east

The Progres Medical publishes paper
BY Drs. Regnard and Loye on the exam-
ination of the head and body OF a convict
Immediately after his decapitation 10y the
guillotine,
The prisoner was calm to the last and
not pale. even when his neck was
fixed ready TO receive the fatal knife.
Two seconds after the decapitation the
cheeks were still rosy, the eyes wide
open. with moderately dilated pupils, the
mouth firmly closed. When finger was
placed close 10 one eye no change Of ex-
preston took place, but on touching an
eve or the tips Of the lashes during the
first five seconds, the lids closed just as
in life. This reflex could not be excited
from the sixth second after decapitation.
The jaws were tightly closed and could
not hc opened 10y manual force. No SINH
lar muscular contraction could he detected
in the trunk or eXtremities. One minute
after death the face began TO turn pale,
the trunk remained ilaccid, the carotids
continuing to throw out blood remaining
in the circulatory area. AT the end OF
four minutes the face was quite pale, the
upper lids were half closed, the jaws less
firmly cIenched than before. Tho knife
passed through the lower part Cf the
fourth ceryical vertebra.
These researches show that not trace
of consciousness remains two seconds
after beheading; that reflex movement
of the cornea can be excited for two sec
onds; that the heart may heat for an
hour. the auricles continuing to pulsate
alone for half that period, and that, put
ting aside the reflex movements Of the
eyelid. the contraction Of the jaws and
the jets Of blood from the carotids, 1t
seemed in this case as though corpse
had been decapitated, so inert were the
remains Of the convict. Drs. Regnard and
Ioye note how calm and free even from
physiological death struggle symptoms is
